To use the entire heart

To write a poem should take the entire heart
The mind and soul, our body and our dreams.
With trepidation,take a pen and start

Let preconceptions , though well meant, depart
Creative work evades such plans and schemes
To write a poem will shake the tender heart

We travel lands unknown without a chart;
With courage, trust the dark and deep unseen
For inspiration,take a pen and write

We bite the apple,bitter, hard and tart
Knowledge enters in perceptual streams
To write a poem will move each living heart

No logic,reasoning, signs, however wrought
Will bring to life the holy pattern’s themes
With each image ,still your dreaming heart

The earth ,the oceans, seas, the sacred scenes
Where humans live out daily what life means
To write our poem , we need a mystic’s heart
In solitude, we fill our pens and start
